Karine Jean-Pierre ends press briefing after being pressed on Durham report: ‘Fled the podium’

"Even though the Durham report was released Monday, Jean-Pierre
was only asked once about it during a White House Press Briefing on Tuesday.

“What is the White House reaction to special counsel report on how the FBI handled the Trump-Russia probe?” RealClearNews reporter Philip Wegmann asked. 

Jean-Pierre replied, “I would leave it to the Department of Justice to speak to that.”

Seemingly unsatisfied with her response, Wegmann pressed further, “The president talks often about how he wants the DOJ and FBI to remain independent and above the fray. That report seems to reflect the opposite. Does he agree with Special Counsel Durham that there needs to be wholesale changes at the FBI?” 

“Again, that is with the Department of Justice,” Jean-Pierre quickly replied, closing her briefing book. “Thank you so much. I’ll see you guys in Japan,” she said while leaving the podium before any more questions could be asked." NYP
